View allI've been having really bad menstrual cramps and backaches, and I feel so much body ache about a week before my period even starts. It's gotten to the point where I can hardly walk because of the pain, and for three days, I can't sleep or even eat properly. I end up taking Meftal Spas when it just gets too much to handle. Is there anything else I can do to manage or maybe even reduce this pain?

I'm dealing with a fever and some chills, and even though I'm taking crosin and ceftum, it doesn't seem to be helping. I'm also pregnant and was prescribed ceftum because of a urine infection. Should I be worried, or is there something else I should be doing?

I'm a bit worried because my last menstrual period was on April 27, 2017, and when I took a home pregnancy test on June 4, it came out positive. I got a blood test on Tuesday with an hCG level of 12579.68. Then, I went for an ultrasound on June 6th. They saw a sac with a fetus, but there was no heartbeat. I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant, and its been two days since that ultrasound. Is it okay for me to go for another ultrasound today to check for a heartbeat?
It is recommended to wait at least one week after the first ultrasound to check for the heartbeat. You can go for another ultrasound around 7 weeks of pregnancy to have a better chance of detecting the fetal heartbeat.
